Collins, a Republican, said Alito has excellent qualifications and has received the highest possible recommendation from the American Bar Association. She said she was impressed with testimony on Alito's behalf during his confirmation hearing from seven of his colleagues on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Maine's other U.S. senator, Olympia Snowe, was still weighing the nomination and has not announced her decision, said spokeswoman Antonia Ferrier.

One further thought. That sounds very much like a "Mary Mapes" interpretation of events.
Scotch law was penned while under the influence of Scotch Whiskey! And you cain't "scotch" that rumor, neither!!!
Good!
she's just announcing it?
I agree. That is the only reason Dems are not filibustering. They don't want it ended once and for all.
No! Read on. The poster mischaractized this post.
We have enough insipid little games to wade through from the Demonicrats, already!!! I just cannot tolerate RINO's... PERIOD!!! (especially so-called moderates!)
The article is dated two days ago, and two days ago is when I first heard that Collins announced for Alito.
Thanks .. I just noticed the date
Yeah, how 'bout that?
She isn't a Republican...really. She's a RINO. Wonder what made her decide to support Alito and go against her close buds...the dems?
Faxing, e-mailing, calling: The kooks are on an all out futile assault trying to change minds. Have been reading reactions where some angry staffers are hanging up on these moonbats. Have to think that it probably will convince some senators (Feinstein who already changed her mind) but will also have some senators reinforcing their decision on voting for cloture (Snowe, Lieberman, Stevens).
I'm sure the senators who are getting pi$$ed with the flood of threats from moonbats (who are trying to pass off false towns and zip codes) will appreciate that the Swimmer has joined in. Yep, Senator Kennedy is actually telling all the MoveOn, Daily Kos, NARAL, DUmmie kooks who to pester:
Daily Kos: Kennedy's Call to Arms
I'm sure that these senators will surely appreciate that this campaign on shutting down all their communications is now being directed by Teddy, lol.
Yes. At least 64 votes.
So much for Tweedle-dee - now if only Tweedle-dum Snowe will come around.......
Thanks!
It is looking better. I think we'll see him with 60 plus votes when it's all said and done.
Snowe has already announced she would vote for cloture.
Hasn't "Sheets" Byrd also said he would vote for Alito?
Ms. Abortion herself is voting for Alito? What is the world coming to?
